[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) has unveiled a blueprint to grow the scale of investment in Intellectual Property (IP) financial investment to 1.3 trillion KRW over the next five years.


On the 2nd, KIPO announced the "Strategy to Promote Activation of Intellectual Property Financial Investment" at the 109th Government Policy Coordination Meeting chaired by Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun.


The strategy focuses on ▲ launching various IP investment products tailored to investment preferences ▲ inducing capital inflow into investment products ▲ establishing a market-friendly investment foundation and base ▲ supplying high-quality intellectual property rights to the IP investment market.


In particular, through this strategy, KIPO plans to lead the activation of investment by including individuals in the IP financial investment sector, which has so far been limited to institutional investors.


For example, individual investors will be able to select IP that matches their preferences and judgments, find products to invest directly, convert IP?which is difficult to trade physically?into securities through IP securitization, and then trade them to secure cash.



Meanwhile, considering the COVID-19 situation, the announcement was conducted non-face-to-face via KTV YouTube live broadcast.
